Miramar Entertainment Park

Honestly, Taipei is one of really colorful and entertainment cities in the world. I can go for shopping in many fancy department stores. Newly, there is a department store with a big skyscaper wheel, its named Miramar (美麗華), in Taipei. I went there for killing time when I am enjoying my vacation in Taipei. I found an Astro Boy at the basement which is in front of an food shop. Of coures that I have to take a picture with this cartoon character which is one of my favorite animated comics. -no.827- about Astro Boy... (原子小金剛) Astroboy was called Tetsuwan Atom in Japan. The black and white series was created, animated and produced by Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) through his own company named Mushi Productions. Tezuka, like his father, was a qualified doctor of medicine but was more interested in drawing. Astroboy was a successful comic strip in Japan in the 1950's. It was released in Japan between 1963 and 1966 and was shown on Melbourne TV in April 1966 at 5:30pm Sunday's on channel 0. The tv week described it as "Cartoon adventure series about a youngster in the 21st century." It was the first animated TV series to be produced in Japan, and after becoming a worldwide hit, Japanese cartoons began to flood the market with the release of other successful series' such as Gigantor, 8th man and Prince Planet. The large oval eyes became the standard for most other Japanese cartoons. A total of 193 episodes were produced, but only 104 of them were redubbed and shown on TV outside Japan.
